Rangerkoala,
Good to meet you. Keep coming back to this site to tell us about your daily problems with depression. Do you have a talk therapist and are you taking anti-depressives for this? This is the place to talk about your depression bouts. Many members have fallen deep in the Black Hole during a bout of depression and we know what you are talking about. Try to give your family some printed pages about MS and Depression so they can educate themselves; right now they are very scared and they are showing indifference or avoidance to minimise the fear they have for you.
Talk to us here and speak to the counsellors who are always there with the best professional advice for you...

Depression is a sympton of an Illness I have. When my MS is not stable I am not stable. I have feelings about why go on, with this diesease you can't always find a solution to help. I am so dizzy and have huge headaches what will not go away, my face and eye on the left side are numb and cold and I can't concentrate. Work is a fight to get though the 8 hours. Money problems because of the stpid medication I am on to STOP the MS flair ups is expensive but guess what .... it is not working!!
I have so many demands on me that I am being pulled in a lot of directions but none of it is for me. I am expected to suffer in silence ... family doesn't want to acknolege the diease, they will help when they are inconvienced but only for their goals... not mine.
Why live? What am I to gain? I am a burden on my family and to myself. Work .... they help only when they have to ... when I am not there!
I am so .....
